Subclipse Issue
subclipse is a great little tool for working with SVN repositories and eclipse but it has caused me a few issues.
One of those was an error like this when adding the repository URL;
Error validating location: “org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: The requested name is valid and was found in the database, but it does not have the correct associated data being resolved for.
svn: Unknown hostname ‘.sourceforge.net’
”
Keep location anyway?
and this when an attempt was made to connect;
Folder does not exist remotely
A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host.
svn: Can’t connect to host ‘.svn.sourceforge.net’: A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host. or
svn: No route to host: connect
The problem? An old socks proxy setting that subclipse does not update…
Even if the “Network Connections” settings in Eclipse specify that a direct connection to the Internet is to be used, subclipse may still have the setting in a file called servers stored somewhere like
C:\Documents and Settings\
or
~/.subversion/
